Corazón de Cortez is located in the exclusive community of Costa Diamante, on Sandy Beach. The community offers a pool, hot tub, 24-hour security, direct private beach access, spectacular views, and unparalleled tranquility.

The home is updated and beautifully furnished. Dramatic boveda ceilings and amenities throughout will provide you with endless comfort.

Unlike other private home developments, Sandy Beach offers easy access to amenities such as restaurants, bars, beach activities (banana boats, jet skis, etc) within walking distance or an easy drive. Do not underestimate the value of being close to “town” while still enjoying the peace and solitude of a quiet, safe, gated neighborhood.

Costa Diamante offers a resort-like atmosphere without the hassle of elevators, noisy neighbors, or unruly crowds to ruin your relaxing vacation. If you are looking for a party atmosphere, this home is NOT for you. If you are looking for a family friendly, quiet neighborhood as close to the beach as you can get - then you have found your home!

Costa Diamante is suggested for families, adult getaways, and quiet group celebrations. A well-trained pet is even welcome! This property is NOT recommended for young spring break crowds, loud parties, smokers, or groups larger than 12 people (no exceptions). No laundry facilities or garage space are provided.

The posted rates are for up to 10 people in the main house (4 bedrooms). Bedrooms #1 and #2 are two equally wonderful master suites with king-sized beds and private bathrooms. Bedrooms #3 and #4 are connected and separated by a privacy curtain. Bedroon #3 is a "bunk room" with a queen bed, twin bed, and two upper twin bunks. Bedroon #4, the "round room," is a sweet nook with a comfy queen sized bed.

Still not enough room? If you want up to 12 guests or just want to spread out a bit, include the Casita for an additional fee. The Casita (bedroom #5) is an additional master suite with king bed, private bath, and kitchenette attached to the main house with a separate entrance. It is very quiet and private. For example, three couples with children will often include the Casita so that each adult couple will have an equally wonderful suite. No need to draw straws! To include the Casita in the price quote, you must request space for 12 people, which will add the additional $100 fee per night to your reservation.

Please note that the 10 person limit (12 with the casita) is a MAXIMUM occupancy. There are no exceptions and only names on a list will given access to the gated community. Renters may not have outside guests to the house.

Renters may not split Friday and Saturday night stays, unless approved by owners. Owners also reserve the right to request 3-night stays during peak season.

Is your friendly fido or perfect pooch interested in joining you? We are pet friendly! For a $100 fee, you may bring a pet if you let us know ahead of time and sign a pet agreement.

About The Goldfinger and VanPeenen Families

We recently purchased this home and renovated it to enjoy with our two families. As co-owners, we are dedicated to providing our guests with a peaceful and relaxing stay. We take pride in providing great communication and service - as well as some of the best amenities offered. We find that our renters treat this home as if it's their own, which has allowed us to maintain high quality supplies and finishes. We LOVE this property and hope you will enjoy it as much as we do. Welcome "home!"

The Goldfinger and VanPeenen Families purchased this House in 2015

Why The Goldfinger and VanPeenen Families chose Rocky Point

This is a very special property. We love the Costa Diamante neighborhood for it's great security, helpful staff, and friendly neighbors. We love the private beach, fantastic views, and direct access to the sand on a lighted pathway. We appreciate that Sandy Beach is so close to "town" and enjoy having all of the great amenities, restaurants, and activities so close to the house. We used to rent in the Los Conchas area, but we much prefer the convenience of Sandy Beach while still benefiting from a large private home. Unlike Los Conchas, the roads are all paved and the utility lines are underground - making the whole area beautiful. This property is perfect for families, adult vacationers, and people looking for a quiet, relaxing stay. We will be honest and let you know that this property is not suggested for young "spring breakers," groups larger than 12 (10 for the main house), or groups looking to "party" on the beach or in the home. But this home is perfect for families and groups (and even a pet, with permission!) looking for value luxury.

What makes this House unique

We looked at many condos and homes on Sandy Beach, but as soon as we saw this house, we fell in love with it! The high dramatic brick "boveda" ceilings, unmatched views, and convenience to everything sold us on this property. We can take a sunset walk to "Wrecked a the Reef" or just hop next door for cocktails at Collins. We take advantage of the close proximity to the Sandy Beach resorts for horseback riding, jet skiing, banana boats and more! The house needed a lot of work when we purchased is - but now it is updated, freshly painted, and furnished beautifully. Why pay $15/ hour or $55-$75 / day for a kayak or SUP!? We provide you with two of each for FREE! We stock many amenities others do not - from oils and spices to fun beach supplies. We look forward to sharing it all with you!

Both master suites have private baths. The 3rd and 4th bedroom in the house share a bathroom. If you rent the extra "casita" bedroom (+fee per night) a 4th private bath will be available. Each bathroom has unique tile, new vanities, and fresh fluffy towels.

This is a wonderful home for a large family vacation. The owners are very generous to supply beach toys, chairs, umbrellas, not to mention paddle boards/kayak! The patios are as large as a playground. The pool is great and steps away and the beach is steps in the other direction. Bree was as close as a text to answer any questions that arose. The house was well supplied with thoughtful items in case the guests forget an essential. The owners were delightful to deal with from the very 1st email. Thanks for a wonderful time!

Three families (6 adults and 6 kids), we rented the main house plus the casita and there was plenty of room. We all found the house to be very comfortable and well stocked. Would definitely come back!

Owner's Response:

We are happy to hear that your group was comfortable. While 12 is the maximum number we accept, it is our goal to make sure each person in a large group has the space and amenities they need to enjoy the home and have a wonderful vacation. Come again soon!

Clean, well taken care of, as full of life and love!
